With a private boat all to yourself, you'll have our full attention and expertise at your disposal.

Your Day on the Water

We kick things off bright and early, meeting you at the dock as the sun's coming up. After a quick rundown of the day's plan, we'll load up the boat and head out. The beauty of a custom trip is that we can adapt on the fly - if one spot isn't producing, we'll move on to the next honey hole. We've got a bunch of secret spots up our sleeve, and we're not afraid to put in the work to get you on the fish. Expect a mix of techniques throughout the day, from live bait fishing to artificial lures, depending on what's biting.

Fishing Know-How

On our custom trips, we're all about matching the hatch and using the right gear for the job. We'll likely start with some light tackle setups - think 7-foot medium action rods paired with 3000 size reels spooled with 15-pound braid. If we're targeting bigger game, we might bump up to 30-pound braid on heavier setups. We've got a range of artificial lures on board, from soft plastics to topwater plugs, and we always bring along a livewell full of frisky bait. Don't worry if you're new to this - we'll show you the ropes on everything from how to work a popping cork to the best way to set the hook on a big redfish.

Inshore Hotspots

The inshore waters we fish are a maze of oyster bars, grass flats, and deep channels. We'll hit the spots where fish are likely to be feeding, like the edges of grass flats on a falling tide or around structure when the current's moving. Depending on the season and conditions, we might be sight-casting to tailing reds in skinny water or jigging the deeper holes for big trout. Our local knowledge means we know which spots are hot at different times of the year, so you're always fishing where the action is.

What's Biting

Inshore waters are home to a variety of gamefish that'll put your skills to the test. Redfish are a favorite target, known for their powerful runs and delicious meat. These copper-colored bruisers can be found tailing in shallow water or hanging around structure. They're suckers for a well-presented artificial lure or a juicy piece of cut bait.

Speckled trout are another staple of inshore fishing. These spotted predators are known for their aggressive strikes and tendency to school up. Early mornings and late evenings are prime time for trout, and they love to ambush bait around grass edges and drop-offs. A soft plastic under a popping cork is a classic trout-catching combo.

Don't forget about the hard-fighting snook. These line-sided battlers are prized for their acrobatic jumps and challenging fight. Snook love to hang around mangroves and bridge pilings, waiting to ambush passing bait. They're catch-and-release in many areas, but the thrill of hooking one is worth it.

Gear and Goodies

We've got you covered with all the fishing gear you'll need - rods, reels, tackle, and bait. Our boat's decked out with a GPS, fish finder, and all the safety equipment required. We recommend bringing along some sunscreen, a hat, polarized sunglasses, and a light jacket just in case. Don't forget to pack a cooler with your favorite drinks and snacks. While we don't provide meals on this trip, there's nothing like enjoying a cold one and a sandwich between bites.

Why Folks Love Our Trips

Our custom inshore trips are a hit with anglers of all skill levels. Beginners love the one-on-one attention and hands-on learning experience. More experienced fishermen appreciate our local knowledge and the chance to target specific species or try new techniques. The flexibility of a custom trip means we can focus on what matters most to you, whether that's catching a bucket list fish or just enjoying a relaxing day on the water.

Conservation Minded

At Wilson Fishing Company, we're big on taking care of the waters we fish. We practice catch-and-release for most species, especially those that are protected or out of season. When we do keep fish, we're careful to follow all size and bag limits. We'll show you how to properly handle and release fish to ensure they swim away healthy. It's all about making sure there are plenty of fish for future generations to enjoy.

Weather Watch

Inshore fishing is generally more forgiving when it comes to weather, but we always keep a close eye on conditions. If things look iffy, we'll be in touch to reschedule or adjust our plans. Safety is our top priority, and we want you to have the best experience possible. That might mean sticking to more protected waters on windy days or shifting our start time to beat the heat during summer months.
